Thank you for your interest in United World College-USA!

  • Are you a curious, thoughtful, idealistic person who cares deeply about the big problems the world faces today?
  • Do you see things a bit differently than most of your peers do?
  • Do you want to make a positive change and be active in your own world? 

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, we encourage you to apply for entry to UWC-USA, where you’ll live and learn with classmates from more than 80 countries. We strive to admit all students regardless of their family financial situation–approximately 85% of our students receive financial assistance. 

There are two paths to admissions:

You’d like to choose which school you attend AND you are not seeking financial assistance.

“While at UWC I realized that true celebration of diversity doesn't always equal acceptance or even tolerance of the opinions, customs, and actions of others. It is more about constructively engaging - and sometimes disagreeing - with each other in an effort to fully understand where the other person is coming from.”
